Local Belgian businessman Patrick Mets was tired of his old, average home.  So he did what any perfectly sane millionaire would do. He turned a 100ft water tower into his home.

Originally built between 1938 and 1941, the water tower was completely gutted and redesigned.
wt2
Since some of the interior had a structural purpose, compromises had to be made, such as turning this concrete beam into a blackboard.

Many of the pipes were left as well.

His view must be incredible.

This beautiful, custom designed staircase leads to the roof.

The best part of living in a water tower?  We can only guess it’s the spectacular, 360 degree view.
